G.S. Gelato & Desserts quadruples capacity with new equipment
The automated equipment will allow expanded production of gelato and sorbet for private label, co-pack customers.
G.S. Gelato & Desserts, a Fort Walton Beach, Fla.-based manufacturer of authentic Italian gelato and sorbet, said it recently quadrupled capacity at its Fort Walton Beach processing facility through installation of automated equipment. The company’s retail gelato and sorbet is available nationwide for grocery/supermarket and wholesale club operations looking for private label, branded, or co-packing options.
One piece of equipment, designed exclusively for G.S. Gelato, fills the company’s newest 16-fluid-ounce clear recyclable plastic containers with a screw-cap lid; the containers are the first of their kind available for private label, the company noted. The other fills G.S. Gelato’s 30-fluid-ounce scrounds, as well as traditional paper pints — as many as 116 in just one minute.
